We use various machines and their systems required for effective and safe utilization of oceans by humans while conserving the earth's environment.

Based on comprehensive knowledge of machine engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, energy and environmental engineering, material science, measurement and control engineering, system engineering, safety engineering, etc., we conduct research into and education about the latest technologies such as engines for vessels, turbines, generators, machines and electric equipment for vessels, marine structures and platforms, underwater robots, observation devices, new power systems including fuel cells and superconducting motors, new devices and materials.

Introduction of Major Fields

Contents of research

We energetically conduct research in 14 research fields (robot control engineering, marine system control engineering, function material engineering, turbo power engineering, propulsion engineering for vessels, environmental energy engineering, power electronics, material surface engineering, material environmental engineering, thermal energy device engineering, superconducting engineering, computational fluid dynamics, optical measurement engineering, and machine design engineering), in each of which, we foster advanced engineers and educators playing active roles internationally with advanced expertise and originality, as well as rich culture and high ethics.

Instructional approach

In education in this course, the students learn about a wide range of engineering fields such as machinery, electricity, electrons, control, information and materials through experiments and exercises to acquire comprehensive engineering ability. Among them, the graduate school specializes in the machine field to enhance expertise and foster logical thinking and a sense of engineering.

Attractive points

Marine machine system science, which is a marine technology, has been recognized as an important technology facilitating development of platforms on land and in space. Students can acquire skills to handle advanced and complicated devices and platforms, and gain a wide range of engineering knowledge and strong global focus, which would be required for a qualified administrative engineer in the future, due to better environmental harmony and energy-saving technologies, development of new technologies, globalization, etc.
